Possible First Look At Samsung Galaxy S6

It is not a secret that SAMSUNG ELECT LTD(F) (OTCMKTS:SSNLF) is under pressure to reinvent itself both in the high end from competition from Apple and in the low end from competition from cheaper Chinese smartphone vendors. Therefore, there is pressure on the company to come out with a fresh model to reverse trends. The competition is pushing Samsung to not only be innovative but provide cost-effective devices to lure more consumers.

There has always been a feeling that the growth lies in emerging nations than the developed economies. The strong growth witnessed in the U.S. for smartphone segment may not be sustained. Therefore, Samsung and other smartphone maker would have to look at options of taping the market that offers more growth.

Galaxy Alpha Like Appearance

The new device appears to be an adaption of metal designs used in the Galaxy Alpha Last Summer, and Galaxy Note 4. The company has reportedly committed to a redesign centering on a higher-end feel with metal frames around.

At this time the wait for the Galaxy S6 is unknown. The authenticity of the reported images could not be confirmed.

Esque Design

If the reported design is taken into perspective, then it indicated an all-metal chassis of a Samsung-esque design. For the camera, a provision for space in the central was given besides a slot at the bottom, which was meant to reduce the interference’s metal case with wireless signal.

It could remind the cases of unibody aluminum that HTC has done before. However, for Samsung, it might be a big and fresh change. It was because traditionally, it confined itself to a basic plastic construction. The expectation is that an all-metal chassis would allow Samsung to distinguish its new S6 from its early efforts of metal cases.

Rumors Specs

The rumored specs for the device from Nowhereelse indicate that the device would support 4G / LTE, and be equipped with a 5.5 inch screen capable of 2560x1440px, an Exnyos 7420 processor with eight-core Snapdragon S810, along with 3GB of RAM, and a digital camera with 20MP support.
